Wes Streeting tells of inner conflict at voting on law for assisted dying

WES Streeting has told of his inner conflict at deciding whether or not to vote in favour of assisted dying.

The Health Secretary said he worries that a right to die could feel like “a duty to die” if the law is changed.

He said: “I have in my mind’s eye one of my grandmothers who died a very slow painful death, an inevitable death, from lung cancer.

“There are moments thinking back to that time through my 10-year-old eyes even then I would have wished for the pain to end sooner.

“The challenge is, I do not think palliative care, end of life care, in this country is good enough to give people a real choice.

“I worry about coercion and the risk that the right to die feels like a duty to die on the part of particularly older people.

“I am also worried about the slippery slope, and the Canadian experience is not a happy experience as far as I am concerned.

“I am having to weigh those considerations up very carefully.”

Proposals to change the law to legalise assisted dying will be debated and voted on next month.

If politicians back the plan, the law could change as early as next year.

Streeting: No blank cheque on NHS billions

By Kate Ferguson

HEALTH Secretary Wes Streeting warns the days of blank cheques for the NHS are over and said extra Budget cash will be linked to reforms.

The health service will be given a multi-billion pound injection — even though other departments are scrambling to find massive cuts.

But Mr Streeting said it will come with strings and all investment will be linked to reform such as weekend working and new tech.

He said: “We have settled with the Chancellor. The challenge we have got is enormous, but I am happy with our Budget settlement.”

But he added: “The days of blank cheques for the NHS are over.

“The money simply isn’t there. We have got to restore some discipline into NHS finances and get deficits under control.

“And that means giving the NHS the tools to do the jobs and the investment on capital and tech.”

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is planning to drop a tax bomb in her Budget later this month.

This is expected to drag millions into higher income tax brackets and include a rise in employer National Insurance Contributions — which has been described as a “tax on jobs”.

So is Mr Streeting bluntly telling us that higher taxes are worth it to improve the NHS?

He said: “Unless we take the tough decisions now we are going to be paying a heavier price for the failure in the longer term.”

He will this week unveil a triple whammy of reforms to turn the NHS around in his ten-year plan.

It includes rolling out wearables such as smart watches and rings that track a patient’s health and help manage conditions including diabetes and cancer.

Plans for a new digital patient passport will finally come at ­parliament this week, so records, appointments and test results can all be accessed on the NHS app.

And new one-stop neighbourhood health centres will be created so doctors, physios and dentists are brought together under one roof.

Meanwhile, hospitals that get extra cash to cut waiting lists will need to show they are working evenings and weekends. Doctors will be told to use side by side operating theatres — so they can work on one patient and swiftly move to the next one.

Plans to build 40 new hospitals — announced by ex-PM Boris Johnson but paused by Labour — will go ahead. But many are set to take years longer than first planned.

Mr Streeting says of the situation: “One of my local hospitals is directly affected by this. I am furious about it because I know how desperately needed these schemes are.”

Brooks Nader stuns in tiny low-cut vinyl dress and choker in New York

Brooks has been romantically linked to dancer Gleb Savchenko, 41, her pro partner on Dancing with the Stars.

She said of speculation: “That doesn’t make me mad at all.”

A source close with the model claimed the connection may be even deeper than fans realise, as she “has really started to fall for Gleb.” 

“Her friends haven’t seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before,” the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun. 

The source continued: “They are trying to play it somewhat cool even though it’s out there that they’re a thing now but behind closed doors, they have so much passion.

During season 23 of DWTS, it was reported that Gleb “hooked up” with his partner that year, country singer Jana Kramer, while she was separated from her then-husband Mike Caussin. 

Despite the reports at the time, Gleb insisted that there was “absolutely no truth” to the rumors he had an affair with Jana. 

In September, The U.S. Sun also revealed that Brooks’ friends had grown more and more concerned over the sudden relationship with Gleb.

After weeks of teasing their romance, Brooks and Gleb appeared to solidify suspicions with a kiss as they were spotted locking lips backstage on the set of DWTS last week.
